Hike With The Cows

Try taking a hike from the ordinary! Begin by taking the Lucas Valley Road off 101 for about twenty minutes and park just beyond the Big Rock on the right. The path takes you east of the road up a gradual incline to the top of the ridge. Along the way you meet up with a number of Marin Cows happily doing what they like to do most.


Take a moment to enjoy the infamous vistas of Marin's rolling hills and landscape. Plan on taking about three and a half hours to get to the ridge and back.

Tule Elke Refuge - Point Reyes

From Sir Francis Drake Blvd out of Inverness, turn left onto Pierce Point Road and park at the Pierce Point Ranch. From there it is an easy 8 mile walk on the Tomales Point Trail to Bird Rock and Tomales Point. Watch for different herds of Elk on the hillsides. Best in the spring with plenty of wildflowers and cooler weather since there is no shade. Bring a lunch and sit on the grass to watch the Elk graze - but give them plenty of distance since they are wild and possibly calving in early summer.

Highlight Community of the Month

Mill Valley


Nestled below majestic Mt. Tamalpais, Mill Valley is reminiscent of a charming European village. Surrounded by national parks, including Muir Woods, an ancient coast redwood forest, Mill Valley's lush landscape of hills and canyons is a favorite place for visitors who enjoy hiking, mountain biking, golf and running. Two national financial magazines, MONEY and CNN/Money, recently named Mill Valley as one of the 10 top cities in America in which to live. They noted that millionaires and well-known names in the film and music industries, like Bonnie Raitt, Bob Weir and Sammy Hagar, make their homes in this quaint community.

Downtown activities center around Lytton Square, where people gather for coffee at the Book Depot Cafe or for a game of chess while conducting some serious people-watching. Fashionable boutiques and restaurants fill the downtown. The Sweetwater Music Hall, one of the top roots music clubs in the nation, is well-known for its live musical performances and famous guest musicians who occasionally drop in for an evening to improvise.

Mill Valley is host to a range of cultural activities. The Mill Valley Film Festival is an internationally recognized festival that has attracted leading filmmakers and movie aficionados for the past 28 years. The Mountain Play, produced in June in an outdoor amphitheatre, attracts thousands of theater-goers to the top of Mt. Tamalpais to watch Broadway musicals performed by talented local actors. The Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, a state historical landmark, was designed in 1904 by internationally known architect, Bernard Maybeck. Particularly notable for its unusual roof truss system, the Arts and Crafts style building exemplifies Maybeck's creative use of natural materials.

Mill Valley, home of the Marin Mountain Bike, hosts the annual Dipsea Race, the second oldest footrace in the United States. The race takes runners over a 7.1 mile course up and over Mt. Tamalpais to one of the most beautiful California beaches on the Pacific Ocean. Whether it's for cultural events, dining, shopping or recreation, Mill Valley is a draw for both visitors and residents alike.
